MÉDICOSDELMUNDO WE COMBAT EVERY ILLNESS, INCLUDING INJUSTICE
Who we are Médicos del Mundo is an independent organization which works to extend the right to health to all people, especially those living in situations of poverty, gender inequality, social exclusion or those who are victims of human crises. We are an international solidarity organization involved with vulnerable populations or victims of natural disasters, famine, disease, armed conflicts or political violence. Defends the right of victims to receive medical attention ahead of all other considerations. Our organization works not only in countries of the South but also with
groups excluded from the welfare state, such as those who have difficulty accessing public health systems. We do not set out to create parallel systems of assistance, but to ensure that all people enjoy adequate health conditions, as is their right. ASSISTANCE AND LOBBYING Apart from taking care of people whose rights are under threat, we draw attention to the causes of injustice and pressure governments to overturn these situations. Médicos del Mundo is an organization run by its voluntary partners who contribute to its financial support and make strategic decisions about the organization’s action.

Annual analysis Partido Popular, Ciudadanos, Unión del Pueblo Navarro y Foro Asturias.
José Félix Hoyo Jiménez President of Médicos del Mundo In 2017, the crisis of values that has followed the economic crisis has been openly unmasked. The contrast between what humanity needs to sustain its future and selfish leadership is enormous. It is as if the suffering of millions of people would have resulted in the persecution of personal, national, local objectives, ignoring the global route that identifies us as a planet, as human beings. There are practically no host territories left. Those that could represent a refuge closed their doors under pretexts such as security. On the other hand, voices arise in civil society, from movements such as feminist or humanitarian ones, which advocate for a system change. Médicos del Mundo, through its work for the right to health, participates in this still incipient change of the social model in which, again, the important thing is people. Once again this year, the fight against the Royal Decree-Law 16/2012 of alleged “sustainability of the health system” has been key in our work. On the positive side, we have achieved a pact in Congress that includes all political forces, except the
We continue to work primarily on prostitution programmes, one of the greatest expressions of violence against women. We also work with homeless and migrant people, in the prevention of female genital mutilation - where we are a national reference for many local governments - and in education for social transformation, in neighborhoods where integration is key to health -in its broadest sense- of people. In the international area, the scenarios of the migratory movement have been essential, such as Mesoamerica, Sahel and several countries in conflict (Syria, Ukraine, South Sudan), apart from our work in chronic crises such as that of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. With our International Network, which already accounts for more than a quarter of our activity, we have expanded interventions in famine and conflict contexts (Yemen and Nigeria). In short, 2017 has been a year full of work that prepares us for the future, that future that we must certainly build together. We are grateful to the volunteers, partners, supporters and public and private agencies who have offered us their help. Thank you for having enabled us to continue to defend the right to health.
During the edition of this Report, the president of the new Government, Pedro Sánchez, has announced the modification of the health legislation to once again offer coverage to all people living in Spain. It is an exceptional piece of news that benefits the whole community and also shows the effectiveness of the human rights activism.
MÉDICOS DEL MUNDO SUMMARY 2017 REPORT I 3
In Spain ADVOCACY Five years after the approval of the Royal Decree-Law 16/2012, in 2017 we have continued to fight to recover at least the pre-conditions to that legislation. Together with the Network for Denouncing and Resisting the Royal Decree-Law 16/2012 (REDER), we have achieved a Political and Social Pact with all parliamentary groups, except the Popular Party and Citizens, to recover universal health coverage. We also published two reports: “Five myths for five years of health exclusion” and “Civil society against health exclusion. Defend our health”. We have continued a strong line of work on access to medicines, whose role in the sustainability of public systems and the family economy will be fundamental in the coming years. We participate in campaigns such as It’s not healthy or The price of life. In addition, with campaigns such as People who move and Hear Syria we call attention to the advantages of integration, bringing people closer to the concept of global citizenship. Once again this year, Médicos del Mundo and Medicusmundi published the 2017 Report. Health in Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Action. SOCIAL INCLUSION Médicos del Mundo works so that people in situation of social exclusion and those most vulnerable can exercise their right to health. Migrants, people in situation of

prostitution, homeless people, drug users and women and girls at risk of mutilating their genitals are the main groups to whom we direct our actions. To achieve our goals, working in network is essential, especially at European level. This is the case of the European Network END FGM, which presented this year an online training platform on genital mutilation for professionals working with women and girls affected or at risk of suffering this practice. We are also a very active part of the European Network to Reduce Vulnerabilities in Health. The training of people is important. In 2017 we carried out 5,185 individual workshops and 11,992 educational activities and more than 10,000 people attended our group workshops. 757 people belonging to the groups to whom we address ourselves have received training to be able to defend their rights by themselves and 286 have been trained as health agents. In order to promote positive attitudes towards migrants among young people and encourage their participation in social change, we have continued the education programme for social transformation called A world in movement, a matter of law, with more than 1,600 secondary school students from 11 autonomous communities. Finally, through the campaign A high school without rumors, we have opted to combat erroneous stereotypes about migration in high schools.

MÉDICOS DEL MUNDO SUMMARY 2017 REPORT I 5
International Cooperation and Humanitarian Action 2017 has been a year of intense work in the international area. The different scenarios of the migratory movement, such as Mesoamerica, the Sahel and several countries in conflict (Syria, Ukraine or South Sudan), have been an essential part of our work. With our international network - which already accounts for more than a quarter of our activity - we complete the picture by expanding our interventions in the progressive famine and conflict contexts such as those in Yemen and Nigeria. We continue to prioritize chronic crises, such as the one in the Palestinian Occupied Territories or the Saharawi Refugee Camps in Tindouf. 70% of our efforts are dedicated to cooperation programs. This year we have developed a new integral strategy in Mesoamerica, which, together with Medecins du Monde France, allows us to carry out a global work in accordance with our principles and projected from and with the field offices. Our primary objectives are sexual and reproductive health and the fight against violence, as well as equitable access to health for the most vulnerable populations. We work for universal public health coverage with a focus on gender and human rights.
6 I MÉDICOS DEL MUNDO SUMMARY 2017 REPORT
In 2017 we have denounced the flagrant insecurity of health teams in conflict contexts before several United Nations forums and campaigns such as Targets of the World. The humanitarian space is reduced to us, and it is not by chance. We have participated in international forums on migration and the relocation of aid, involving ourselves in the implementation of the Grand Bargain, which favors the direct financing of local NGO, since they are the ones that first react to natural disasters and conflicts. A new initiative has been developed with two projects from the European Union Volunteer Aid program, with the aim of preserving life, avoiding and alleviating suffering and safeguarding human dignity, as well as strengthening the capacity and resilience of vulnerable communities or affected by catastrophes in developing countries. In particular, the preparation and reduction of catastrophe risks and the strengthening of the link between emergency aid, rehabilitation and development have been emphasized. Médicos del Mundo Spain leads the two projects, carried out in consortium with several delegations of the International Network of Médicos del Mundo.
